Liu Xi looked smug and casually raised his wine glass to drink with Ji Gang.
"Chief Supervisor Liu, I believe news will arrive soon: Wang Yang is either dead or has fled in fear!"
"We can rest easy now!"
Ji Gang smiled and looked at Liu Xi, then said this.
Upon hearing this, Liu Xi was overjoyed.
When he first learned that Wang Yang was coming to the capital of the Ming Dynasty, he was terrified and completely disoriented.
But now, the thought of Wang Yang and his men facing an encirclement by thousands of troops put his mind at ease.
After a slight pause, Liu Xi prepared to say something.
But before he could even finish speaking, a series of hurried footsteps suddenly came from outside the hall.
Seeing this, Ji Gang smiled slightly and said again:
"Chief Supervisor Liu, the messenger has arrived with good news!"
After saying that, Ji Gang and Liu Xi looked out in the direction of the sound at the same time.
Upon seeing this, the smiles on their faces instantly froze.
The newcomer appeared extremely flustered, his face deathly pale, clearly terrified by something.
Before long, his men arrived in front of the palace.
Before he could say anything, Liu Xi frowned and asked in a deep voice:
"What happened that scared you like this?"
Upon hearing this, the subordinate's legs went weak, and he collapsed to the ground, trembling as he replied:
"Lord Supervisor...Lord Supervisor!"
"The entire...the entire army was wiped out."
His subordinates trembled, their voices shaking.
"ah?"
Upon hearing their subordinates' reply, Liu Xi and Ji Gang's faces immediately turned ashen.
Indeed, this sudden news was like a bolt from the blue.
"Gurgle!"
After a long pause, Ji Gang was the first to recover from his shock and quickly asked:
"Explain yourself! What do you mean by 'completely wiped out'?"
The subordinate swallowed hard and quickly said:
"Wang... Wang Yang casually drew his sword outside the city gate, and our entire force was wiped out!"
As his subordinate finished speaking.
Liu Xi and Ji Gang were completely stunned, their expressions filled with overwhelming terror.
At that moment, both of their minds went completely blank.
This sudden news was truly shocking.
"Coo coo..."
Startled, Ji Gang swallowed hard, his face filled with fear, and asked, "You...you're telling the truth?"
Without a second thought, the subordinate nodded repeatedly and replied:
“Commander Ji, I…I witnessed it with my own eyes.”
Upon hearing this, Ji Gang's legs went weak, and he slumped into his seat.
Upon hearing this, Liu Xi, who was standing nearby, trembled uncontrollably.
"This...how is this possible?"
"That's 6,800 people!"
"No matter how powerful Wang Yang is, he couldn't possibly finish this off with a single sword strike, could he?"
"Is he even human?"
Liu Xi said tremblingly, his face full of disbelief.
Seeing this, the subordinate opened his mouth, as if he was about to say something.
But before he could even say it,
Suddenly, a commotion came from outside the hall.
"Bang! Bang!"
Several sonic booms were heard.
Then it was seen that the Eastern Depot guards outside the hall were sent flying into the hall and crashed heavily to the ground.
Before they could even utter a scream, these people died on the spot.
"ah?"
Upon seeing this, Liu Xi and Ji Gang felt a chill run down their spines.
Then a man led a group of people straight into the hall.
The man was handsome and dashing, dressed in white, with an otherworldly and transcendent air, like a celestial being descended to earth!
Who else could it be but Wang Yang?
Upon seeing the newcomer, Liu Xi and Ji Gang were filled with trepidation.
Although they had never met Wang Yang, they had already guessed what was going on.
Upon hearing this, both Liu Xi and Ji Gang were filled with fear and completely at a loss.
Before long, Wang Yang led Tie Xinlan and the others into the main hall.
After entering the hall and standing still, Wang Yang's gaze shifted, moving back and forth between Liu Xi and Ji Gang.
Upon meeting Wang Yang's gaze, the two felt a chill run down their spines and felt extremely uncomfortable.
"You're Liu Xi?"
Suddenly, Wang Yang looked at Liu Xi.
"Gurgle!"
Upon hearing this, Liu Xi swallowed hard and stood up with trembling hands.
"Lord Wang... Alliance Leader Wang! I... I am!"
Wang Yang glanced at himself, said nothing more, and suddenly pointed out with his right middle finger.
"Zhongchong Sword!"
"call out!"
In an instant, a sword aura swept across the area, sweeping and powerful with a majestic momentum.
In no time, the sword energy struck Liu Xi's dantian.
"Pfft!"
Liu Xi had no time to react before he suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood and flew backward.
"Bang!"
After a few moments, the man crashed heavily into a wall.
The entire wall cracked from the impact.
Liu Xi slid off the wall to the ground, his martial arts skills crippled by Wang Yang.
"ah?"
Upon witnessing this scene, Ji Gang was immediately filled with terror.
Before Wang Yang could even look at him, he hurriedly begged for mercy:
"Alliance Leader Wang, there is no enmity or grudge between us. I beg you to show mercy and spare my life!"
As he spoke, Ji Gang knelt down directly before Wang Yang.
Although he was quite strong, he couldn't help but think of Wang Yang outside the city gate, who had pierced through 6,800 armored soldiers with a single sword strike.
Having witnessed Wang Yang cripple Liu Xi, whose strength was no less than his, with a single sword strike, Liu Xi had no will to resist.
Wang Yang completely ignored Ji Gang's pleas for mercy, showing not a trace of pity in his eyes.
Then, with a light wave of his hand, he unleashed another burst of sword energy.
"Young Sword!"
The sword energy was released with lightness and speed.
Before Ji Gang could react, he was sent flying by Wang Yang's Six Meridian Divine Sword.
"Pfft!"
After collapsing to the ground, Ji Gang coughed up a mouthful of blood.
He never expected that even after kneeling down and begging for mercy, Wang Yang would still refuse to let him go.
"Giggle!"
Seeing that his martial arts cultivation had also been crippled by Wang Yang, Ji Gang gritted his teeth in anger, but dared not speak out.
Indeed, he had never encountered anyone with such powerful martial arts skills.
At the same time, Zhao Min and the others present were all surprised to see this.
No one expected Wang Yang to act so swiftly and decisively.
Before everyone could recover, Wang Yang turned his gaze to Tie Xinlan.
“Miss Xinlan, the culprit who persecuted your father is right here. You can decide how to deal with him.”
Tie Xinlan was shocked when she heard what Wang Yang said.
At this moment, she felt as if she were in a dream, and she could hardly believe what she was seeing.
After all, if she were to kill Murong Wudi, Jiang Biehe, and Liu Xi on her own, she didn't know when it would be possible.
After a moment's hesitation, Tie Xinlan took a deep breath, pulled a dagger from her waist, and walked straight toward Liu Xi.
Liu Xi's martial arts were crippled, and he was seriously injured. He collapsed to the ground, unable to move at all.
Seeing Tie Xinlan walking towards him, he was immediately terrified and hurriedly said:
“You…you are Xinlan’s niece, right? I…I am a very close friend of your father, Tie Ruyun.”
"The earlier attack on him was entirely Murong Wudi and Jiang Biehe's idea; I was forced into it."
"It was only through my final efforts that your father's life was saved."
